Cocoran boots

[dontpanicbobby]

My sweetheart's Niece wants real combat boots. I'm thinking 'Cocoran' Paratrooper boots wirh the zipper.
Did they ever make female sizes?

I always used the equivalent male size. At one time, though, I seem to vaguely remember the introduction of female sizes. That may or may not be a true memory. I'll tell you one thing, though, the price sure rose incrementally through the years! Who knows what they cost now.

in one of your other threads, I sent you a bath of links, but it's gone... oh well.

Found it:

I did research for you DPB. Please follow this link to a whole slew of woman's cochran boots. I don't see ones with a zipper, though.

Wait: Here is one with a zipper... Just calculate the relative size for women.
and Here

Just did a google search and one ebay listing is for a 'female' version. The ebay server was down so could not check out the actual listing.

 

[maire5]

If I recall correctly, I subtracted two or two and one half "female" sizes to get the male size to buy. She could always exchange for a better size.

She conversion"

There is an approximate 1.5-size difference between men's and women's sizing.

For example, a men's size 7 is roughly equivalent to a women's size 8.5. Widths, however, remain the same during conversion: if you wear a women's D width, you will also wear a men's D width.

Be careful that she didn't mean cocoran 10" that's a standard style having to do with the boot height, not the foot size. Size 10 is going to be pretty big for a woman. Man's 10 or Woman's 10 are going to both be very big for a girl.

She's a big girl.
I want the 9.5.

Big paws = big kid.

20 maybe.
I need to pay more attention BRB

 

[maire5]

I wear a woman's size 10 shoe in general and wore Corcoran men's size 8 boots. I would imagine the same comparison would work for her. Of course, it is better if she can try on the boots in a store to get the right size. Tell her to bring, or wear, a pair of the socks that she plans to wear with the boots.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Taller than you.
It will take 3 days but I'll have those Paratrooper (Zipper) BOOTS not USAF.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Never got her those boots.
I think she'll like "The New Style" Chukka boots though. Timberland put in padding and Goretex. Way more comfortable than the ones I wore in basic training in the late 1970s.
Hard to shine though.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

I'll try the 8s.
